Nobel Prize-winning physicist Roger Penrose questions some of the most fashionable ideas in physics today, including string theoryWhat can fashionable ideas, blind faith, or pure fantasy possibly have to do with the scientific quest to understand the universe?
From the award-winning, bestselling German science author Stefan Klein An original way into the most thought-provoking scientific theories and ideas, On The Edge of Infinity is the perfect read for those curious about the workings of the universe.
Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Entstehungsgeschichte des komplexen Konzeptes von Photonen aus wissenschaftshistorischer, kognitionspsychologischer und naturwissenschaftlicher Sicht.
The structural aspects of composite quantum systems in the foundation, interpretation and application of quantum theory is an increasingly prominent topic of physics research.
This century has seen the development of technologies for manipulating and controlling matter and light at the level of individual photons and atoms, a realm in which physics is fully quantum-mechanical.
Tagore's Sadhana is a spiritual classic, delivering strong and penetrating insight into the human connection with the universe, the many fallacies of science and much more, all in beatiful English prose.
Quantum phenomena of many-particle systems are fascinating in their complexity and are consequently not fully understood and largely untapped in terms of practical applications.
This volume contains the proceedings of a meeting held at Imperial College which is devoted to recent developments in string theory, supersymmetry and quantum gravity.
The conference will cover various aspects of the science and engineering of devices, circuits and systems that exploit mesoscopic or quantum-mechanical phenomena in their operation.
This book deals with the foundations of classical physics from the "e;symplectic"e; point of view, and of quantum mechanics from the "e;metaplectic"e; point of view.
By the end of the 1970s, it was clear that all the known forces of nature (including, in a sense, gravity) were examples of gauge theories, characterized by invariance under symmetry transformations chosen independently at each position and each time.
With cutting-edge materials and minute electronic devices being produced by the latest nanoscale fabrication technology, it is essential for scientists and engineers to rely on first-principles (ab initio) calculation methods to fully understand the electronic configurations and transport properties of nanostructures.
This book discusses the basic physics of semiconductor macroatoms at the nanoscale as well as their potential application as building blocks for the realization of new-generation quantum devices.
Nanostructured Semiconductor Oxides for the Next Generation of Electronics and Functional Devices focuses on the development of semiconductor nanocrystals, their technologies and applications, including energy harvesting, solar cells, solid oxide fuel cells, and chemical sensors.
Quantum phenomena of many-particle systems are fascinating in their complexity and are consequently not fully understood and largely untapped in terms of practical applications.
"Los Versos de Oro" es una colección de versos y enseñanzas éticas que reflejan la filosofía pitagórica y su énfasis en la armonía, la moderación y la autoconciencia.
Dit boek verklaart voor iedereen de verwarrende en verbazingwekkende fenomenen van de moderne natuurkunde en geeft toelichting bij vreemde fenomenen zoals kwantum teleportatie en tijd- en ruimtereizen aan de hand van de algemene relativiteitstheorie of de snaartheorie die streeft naar een unificatie van alle fysische theorieën in één verklaring met 11 dimensies.
An exhilarating guide to the astonishing future of quantum computing, from the international bestselling physicistThe runaway success of the microchip processor may be nearing its end, with profound implications for our economy, society and way of life, even leaving Silicon Valley as a new Rust Belt, its technology obsolete.
*; Examines how each dimension influences Earth, its levels of creative expression, and the sciences that describe each one*; Provides meditations to open you to the experience of each dimension and all nine dimensions as an integrated whole*; Includes new evidence for the nine dimensions from the supercomputer Blue Brain Project and recently discovered ancient technologyAs revealed by the Pleiadians via renowned author Barbara Hand Clow, Earth holds nine dimensions of consciousness that humans can currently access.
Quantum Yang-Mills theory is now the foundation of most of elementary particle theory, and its predictions have been tested at many experimental laboratories, but its mathematical foundation is still unclear.
